Throughout the Harry Potter books, there are some variations between the Bloomsbury (British) and Scholastic (American) editions. Below the first section on "Philosopher's vs. Sorcerer's" is a section on other different terminologies used.

Philosopher's vs. Sorcerer's

When Scholastic was publishing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in America, they decided to rename the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. They claimed that the American and British uses of the word philosopher were a bit different, so therefore sorcerer was a zaidi appropriate word. Any true Harry Potter fan, American...

I decided to write this makala because I have seen many maoni lately that kind of bother me.

There are several picks in which this has come up, but the last one I have seen, and the reason why I am uandishi this is the question: ¿Have wewe completely changed your attitude towards a character after reading/watching their past stories? (or something along those lines)

It is a really interesting question, and what really caught my attention were the answers, the comments, especially since it wasn't the first time that I am kusoma maoni like those.

The thing is that in that pick, James...

Harry Potter married Ginny Weasley. They had three children, James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna. He became head of the Auror's Department under Kingsley Shacklebolt.

Ginny Weasley played quidditch for the Holyhead Harpies. After deciding to raise a family, she retired and became Senior Quidditch correspondent at the Daily Prophet.

Hermione Granger married to Ron Weasely and had two children, Rose and Hugo. Hermione went back to Hogwarts and sat her NEWTS before working for Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and helping house elves. She then moved to the Department...

1. Ask him why he 'doesn't have such a cool scar?'
2. Laugh at him.
3. Wake him up kwa imba beach, pwani Boys songs in his ear. 'Round, round, get around, I get around...'
4. Knit him things. Really hideous things.
5. Give him kangaroo-ears for a month.
6. Smile during Death-Eater meetings and say wewe taught him everything he knows.
7. Chew bubblegum all the time. Should he address you, your only response will be a series of huge bubbles in quick succession, the last of which will burst everywhere and make a mess.
8. Dance the Funky Chicken.
9. Ask him when was the last time he took a bath.

To start I would like to say that I am not posting this to be mean au start any fights. I'm posting this because a lot of people ask me why I don't like her au simply assume it's only because I like Bellatrix, and I want to clear this up. Plus I'd rather just post a link to this makala rather than explain it every time someone asks.

Anyways, the first and biggest problem I have with Molly is (yes the obvious one lol, I'll get it out of the way first) that she killed Bellatrix. I do respect her motives, her kid's life was on the line. But I still don't like it. I also don't like how she called...

I upendo Draco Malfoy so much! And we all know that he has a knack for good comebacks. So, these are some things wewe can say au do when he insults you. Let's get this orodha started!

1.If he calls wewe a Mudblood, say "At least I'm no bleached blonde."
2. If he makes fun of wewe for being bad at Quidditch, get the Snitch from right under his nose and don't let him forget it.
3. Slap him across the face.
4. Do a Moody and turn him into a ferret.
5. Turn his hair pink.
6. Call him a Daddy's boy.
7. Bewitch snowballs to constantly hit him on the back of his head.
8. Sneak a Puking Pastille into his dinner--...

So I've been thinking about this a lot lately...I discussed this with a friend a few months ago. We were talking about how many Christian groups (as wewe well know) have condemned HP as anti-Christian. In fact, I believe that the Harry Potter story is actually a symbolization of the Christian religion.
Note: This is entirely my opinion and is not meant as "Christian propaganda" au to offend anyone in the slightest. It is merely my opinion! :)

Harry Potter is Jesus. Whaaaaat?!
1) Both HP and Jesus were born into humble beginnings.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem, a tiny town literally in the middle...

Ever wondered what the dedications at the beginning of each Harry Potter book mean? wewe can find all the majibu on this page!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets...

As I did with my makala like this in the Once spot, Imma do state the song name and pull lyrics from each song that just really remind me Bellatrix and how alisema lyric reminds me of her. For once the orodha actually is in order from what I think suits her most to least.


1. Be My Friend kwa One Eye'd Doll: The ujumla, jumla story of the song talks of a serial killer who doesn't understand why she can't seem to make friends. The chorus goes as the following; Serial killers are people too if wewe take away the voices I'm just like wewe I'll hack wewe up and bury wewe in my yard but why does making friends...

On the night that Sirius died, after the battle at the Ministry of Magic at the end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore showed Harry, with the aid of his pensieve, the complete Lost Prophecy:

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh mwezi dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will...

After rereading both DH and SS, I began to wonder. wewe may have seen the picture of Harry releasing the snake in the zoo with JKR's maoni on the snake being Nagini. I actually have a few problems with that. I realize that some of this can be called book-movie inconsistency, but this is a Wild and Crazy theory.

First off, gender. Consistently, Nagini is called female. HOWEVER, if wewe listen carefully to the snake's voice in SS, it is clearly male.

Next, location. Voldemort must have made Nagini into a Horcrux fairly soon after doing the same (accidentally) with Harry. Thus, the snake in the...

HOGWARTS STAFF
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore: His first name is from the Latin word alba, "white." His last name, according to Rowling interviews, is Old English for "bumblebee." In colour symbolism, white often stands for purity, so the headmaster's name suggests honour and a hard-working nature ("busy as a bee").
Professor Binns: A bin is a large storage container. A dustbin is British English for a garbage can. This boring professor could be described as a ghostly storage for information that many Hogwarts students view as rubbish.
Headmaster Armando Dippet: Armando is from the name Armand,...

Dolores Umbridge: the horrible woman who is the most cruel and hated character in the Harry Potter series. Here are 100 reasons as to why I hate Dolores Umbridge.


1) She believes in extremely harsh, severe, and cruel punishments.

2)Too much pink.

3) She's just doesn't make sense. Like, how she tells everyone to raise their hands if they want to speak, but then she ignores them.

4) She's racist. Well, she's technically "half-breed-ist", because she thinks wizards and witches are better than centaurs, werewolves, goblins, elves, etc. I hate that, because without the help of a lot of half breeds,...

5. Ginny-For starters, I upendo her beautiful red hair. It's so gorgeous. I upendo it when she has that white maua, ua in her hair, it's pretty. I also upendo her eyes. She's just stunning. She has an amazing smile. She is such a natural beauty.

4. McGonagall-Now, before wewe start calling me weird, let me explain. Have wewe seen her as a young woman? She's gorgeous! I upendo her big eyes, they're so amazing. She has gorgeous hair.

3. Luna-I upendo Luna's looks! She's stunning! I upendo her long, blonde hair. I also adore her eyes, not to big and not too small. I upendo her figili, radish earrings, they compliment her...

Please read and tell me what wewe all think about it! My first one *fingers crossed*

Summary: My first ever fanfic! The inayofuata Generation kids can't get enough during krisimasi at the Burrow! All ages set two years before epilogue.

"Watch out!"

A snowball sailed through the air, nearly missing a blonde head as it hit a tree.
"Take that!" cried fifteen mwaka old Victoire Weasley as she got up and aimed a snowball at her sister, thirteen mwaka old Dominique Weasley. Dominique squealed as the snowball collided with her forehead. "I'll get wewe for that!" she yelled, as she chucked a snowball through...

When people tell me that James “grew out of bullying”, I always respond with the canonically sound FACTS that James Potter was 21 when he died, 20 when Harry was born and *19* when Harry was conceived. He had *no time* to change out of his bullying bullshit personality towards Severus. Just take a look around wewe and see if wewe can name half a dozen of your under-21 male friends/acquaintances who wewe think would make such an awesome hubby and father right now (oh, and don’t discount the bullies wewe know who pick on people “just because they exist”). And when we keep telling wewe that...

There are many, many reasons to upendo Hermione Granger. She is a wonderfully written character and a great role model. However, lately I've been seeing a lot of people say things to the extent of "i upendo hermione because she's sooooo pretty!!!!! she's the most beautiful girl in hogwarts and i upendo her!!!!!" It seems harmless, and it probably is. But I have a problem with it.

People tend to obsess over her appearances, when Hermione herself would probably scoff at such things. Hermione was never one to care all that much about physical appearances; she was far zaidi concerned over zaidi important...
